Oh this is nasty stuff....I agree with you gam, The Green Death.
Its the most produced beer in Australia so somebody drinks it, I will only drink it if there is nothing else available.

Golden with an OK head. The aroma is weak, but I think I get a floral note. The flavour is weak, but it has discrete notes of flower and a brief hint of caramel. The bitterness is very low, but it’s a quite harmless and quenching beer...

Had this in a bottle at All That Beer in Seoul at the end of a bar hopping frenzy. The sad part is that I’ve been wanting to try this forever after talking to some Ozzy’s about their favorite beverage. Standard macro nose of yeast and sulpher. Pours a sparkling golden yellow. The brief frothy white head leaves no lace. Flavor has just a tad of character, otherwise non-descript and non-offensive. Light, watery and fizzy. Slightly better than swill; only slightly.

Thin vanishing near-white head. Clear pale golden colored body. Label says ’Bitter’... No bitterness detected neither in aroma, nor taste. Sweetish corn/maize taste. This is a bland and forgettable macro-lager and only drinkable when lost in an Austrailian desert...

Sampled on Flashy’s tour of LA, New Zealand and Hong Kong of September/October 2007 - I wasn’t expecting much of this as most Australian beers, like their wines, are shit. I was pleasantly surprised by this as was better than I thought, though nothing special. It was a decentish standard carbonated lager. It had a little bit of bitterness in taste, but can’t think why it’s called "bitter" as tastes nothing like a bitter?

375 ml Bottle. Pours golden orange. Mild malt aroma. Pretty simple. It costs more than one of my favourite beers. White head. Pretty average and to be honest not a great beer. As an Australian beer i think the worst, Fosters is better

Ok, alot of people cant stand VB. But honestly I dont understand. Obviously this beer is no top shelf premium beer like Crown Lager, James Boags Premium etc. etc. But for a middle shelf, everyday drinking beer, this is as good as it gets. It holds its head well, can be drank and enjoyed in all climates and has a fantastically rich and robust flavour. This is a true drinking beer. The only place it is let down is in the after taste. it leaves a reminder of its presence long after drinking. Fair dinkum guys, give it a go. VB rocks my world!
